So I often follow many photographers blogs, I follow them on twitter and we often chat back and forth on that forum and I’m also inspired greatly by things they say.
When I read Zack Arias blog post though, something was different. He wanted the photo community to give something back, something that makes us no money, doesn’t cover our costs, doesn’t matter what but just to do something for nothing again. We often get so wrapped up in needing to make our bottom line (which gets taken away by about 50% in taxes, gotta love self-employment tax!) that we forget that we also have something to give.
So my question is: do you work or volunteer for a non-profit? Do you need some type of photographic skill but never had the resources to hire a professional (we’re expensive!)? If so, email me and I’ll chose the winner, I have some ideas but am looking to my readers to see if they can help me make a small change in this world.
I know a lot of people will say things like a small change doesn’t matter, but I remind you to that if we all make small changes, especially in these hard economic times, we can make a difference as a whole instead of as an individual. So with that said, even if you just pay it forward a little that can help! And hopefully you can help me with my call to action!


One pretty easy way, and very fun way is to help out local shelters! They are always looking for people to take great photos of the animals to put up online!
That was going to be my suggestion as well! Especially since you love animals!
